Chapter 17: Capture the Soldier Talisman
"Xu Niantong, your surname is Xu, right?" he said.
"I..." Niantong's thoughts seemed to be pulled back to her childhood. It was a long time ago, so young that she had lost her impression of her parents. She sat under the huge tung tree in the village playing with crickets. The village chief walked over and gently touched her hair. She told her to remember that she was a child with parents, and her surname was Xu. She was confused at that time, and she could not remember the other things around her, but she could clearly hear the words of the village chief. Her surname was Xu, and her name was Xu Niantong. However, for a long time, except for A Chen, she never told others her surname, and the people around her had always called her surname Niantong. Now, Xu Yungui actually knew that her name was Xu Niantong. If it were not for the insider who told him, he would be an insider.
Xu Yungui is not old, even younger than Mr. Lu. He also told himself that it rained heavily on the day he was born, so his real name was Yugui. Later, he felt that it was difficult to read, so he changed it to Yugui.
The rain returns, and I miss the tung tree.
"Xu Niantong, you are my real sister." Xu Yungui said word by word.
"Impossible, I've never seen you, you can't be my brother." Niantong insisted, but his psychological defense line had collapsed a little.
Originally, it was so happy to find relatives. She had been alone for so many years, and only in this year, she met so many friends and had a little more color in her life. If she had told her now that she had a brother, she would feel that life was not perfect. However, this person could be anyone, but it was Xu Yungui. He was the owner of Hongxiu Villa. Although Niantong now feels that there is no difference between the court and Hongxiu Villa, there is only a difference between good and bad people, but if Xu Yungui is her brother, what she is doing now...
She felt a little broken, she didn't expect that everything seemed to be getting worse and worse now.
"I'm fifteen years older than you. Our father always wanted a daughter, so even after many years, I insisted on giving birth to you. When you were born, I was already sensible. Two years later, my parents passed away and I also fled to another place. My mother entrusted you to the village chief, and you escaped."
"No..." Nian Tong's eyes were filled with tears and looked at him and said, "If I were your own sister, why would you take poison to me? Why are you so cruel to me?"
"You are my real sister, this is one thing, but you are from the court, this is one thing..." Xu Yungui's voice was cold, but with a hint of undetectable grief.
"You knew it long ago?" Nian Tong asked, "So, you were also trying to test me about the Pill Palace that day, right?"
"I didn't know it long ago. The first time I really realized that you were my sister, and I would like to thank your good friend, Chen Mengyun. The time I caught her to test the poison, she called you by your name when she was in a coma, and she called Xu Niantong."
"Xu Niantong...he." Niantong smiled bitterly. At the beginning, she said that if one day they quarrel, she would call her like this with her name. Although she was in a coma, she hated her at that time.
"Xu Niantong, I am very familiar with this name. I have forgotten everything I can about the past ten years ago, only your name is my deepest memory. However, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and I am not sure if it is you."
"Why, you have never looked for me in the past ten years?" Niantong asked.
“I have something more important to do.”
"Revenge?" Niantong looked at him.
"Revenge. I worked hard to become the owner of Hongxiu Villa ten years ago. Do you know how old I was at that time? I was only twenty-one years old. I am the youngest owner. I have put in much more effort than anyone else before I climbed to this position. I want to avenge our parents, and I, knowing that you are healthy and safe in the village, will grow up safely."
Niantong lowered her eyes and said, "So, the one who killed our parents was also the court, right?"
Xu Yungui did not directly answer this question. He said: "For the past ten years, I have been looking for people like me who want to take revenge, such as Mr. Lu, and Shen Yanyi. After I confirmed that you are my sister, I want to be nice to you. I want to wait for a suitable opportunity to tell you all this, but..."
"But later you found out that I defected to Hongxiu Villa, just a appearance?"
"At that time, in Kunlun, after you were rescued by Shen Yanyi's people, you woke up and said you wanted to surrender to Hongxiu Villa. I became suspicious. You have always been arrogant and it was definitely not a normal phenomenon at that time. I asked you to take that poison, and I thought you would give up in this way. I could see if you were sincere, but you actually took it."
"Where is that palm? It's also a test?" Nian Tong sneered, and the one who seriously injured her was actually her biological brother.
"I am a cruel person, but I controlled the strength of that palm. There would be no trouble for you. I can still find out how high your cultivation level is."
"Haha." Niantong only found it ridiculous. He could have said this about his own sister so calmly. It turns out that he was a cruel person, a cruel person, could become the owner of Hongxiu Villa. As expected.
"After that, my name is Xingfen and mixed into Wanjun Mansion. In fact, you also know that I sent him to monitor you, but what you don't know is that I had expected him to die long ago."
"...You use the death of a person to test me?" Nian Tong was shocked.
"Yes. If you kill him, I know that you must be pretending to defect to Hongxiu Villa."
"Then why don't you expose me? Why do you act with me?" Niantong asked.
"Because... I want to see how capable my real sister is."
"You are such a monster..." Nian Tong felt a layer of goose bumps on her body.
"After that, I asked you to go back to Hongxiu Villa. I deliberately asked you to monitor Mu Yun, just waiting for you to destroy the Xiyan Poison."
Niantong gritted her teeth and said, "That poison is extremely precious. You ruined me like this?"
"Of course I have to help her with what my sister wants to do." Xu Yungui said with a smile, but the smile was filled with weirdness.
Niantong suddenly pulled out the sword from behind and quickly placed it on his neck. Her hands trembled slightly, but she still forced herself to calm down.
"Xu Yungui, your life is now in my hands. I hand over the military talisman. For the sake of your and my blood relationship, I will give you a way." Niantong said.
"Sister, are you too naive?" Xu Yungui's face did not show any fear. "Take the military talisman and give up my hard work over the years? Are you worthy of your dead parents?"
When Niantong heard the last sentence, she was stunned. Not only did she not avenge her brother, she also blocked him, making him burn his ten years of hard work and let her parents die with peace of mind. Is this...what she wanted?
She has never been a great person. She also has selfish intentions and wants to find her parents. Now her brother is right in front of her and says she doesn't feel anything in her heart. That's absolutely impossible, but now, the current situation...
What should she do? The sword in her hand fell to the ground all of a sudden. She has been caring for it carefully since the day she got the Liufang Sword. This is the first time it has slipped out of her hand.
Niantong's tears fell and the person fell to the ground. At this moment, she wanted to hug someone and to tell him all the helplessness in her heart.
That person, maybe it is Tang Xi?
She was so sad that tears fell. Tang Xi, where is he now? Will he still want to meet her again...
"Sister." Xu Yungui squatted down and put his hand on her shoulder, "For you to survive and to get revenge for your parents, Xu Niantong, please join me and forget those people."
Niantong looked up and looked at Xu Yungui in confusion. His eyebrows and eyes seemed to be somewhat similar to her. Is this her biological brother? She never thought that there would be her relatives in this world. But she felt that he was so far away from her. She didn't want to take revenge, the dead were gone, she just wanted to calm all wars. If there was no war, how good would it be...
Niantong's hand slowly raised up with trembling and touched Xu Yungui's left face, and choked and said, "Brother..."
Xu Yungui's expression finally changed a lot, the kind of change that is not revealed but can make people feel personally. For more than ten years, when his own sister called her brother, is it considered a memorable thing in his life like this?
However, when she said this, Niantong quickly moved her hand to his waist. The ear he had always worn on her body had a small jade talisman on it, which was the military talisman of Hongxiu Villa. She pulled it off with tears in her eyes and stood up immediately, took several steps back, and said, "Brother, let go of hatred. I think my parents have a spirit in heaven. I hope you can live happily, rather than be trapped by hatred for the rest of your life."
"Xu Niantong, you betray me..." Xu Yungui looked at him in disbelief. Just when he wanted to feel the happiness brought to him by family affection for a second, reality knocked her back to her original form.
"How can we betray if we don't surrender?" Nian Tong said, "Brother, let go of everything, let's go to a place where there is no one. If you find a sister-in-law for me, we will live our lives, won't it be good?"
"Xu Niantong, you betray me..."
